quran:23:37 –

Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.  

There is nothing, that is, there is no life, but our life in this world: we die, and we live, ˹again only˺ through the lives of our offspring, and we shall not be raised ˹again˺.
القرآن:٢٣:٣٧ –

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ  

{إن هي} أي ما الحياة {إلا حياتنا الدنيا نموت ونحيا} بحياة أبنائنا {وما نحن بمبعوثين}.
